1. Crystal clear sound for winds, brass, and strings to the following.
Master Volume: 127
Reverb Wet/Dry: 20
Expression: 127
Release: 85
Filter: 88
Velocity X-Fade: 70
Slot X-Fade: 88
Note: for keyboards, do not use Velocity X-Fade because your piano/harpsichord will sound like hell. Also, do not tamper with the controls on the edit option of each articulation in the keyswitch or the effects above will not work.
2. Bringing out each instrument more.
a. Set all VE Plug-ins to 1
b. Number your channels 1 through n.
This will ensure that each instrument can be heard separately instead of hearing a mesh of everything at once.
c. Click on the master bus option and dictate where each instrument is heard using the panning option.
d. Articulations.
Fast 16th notes: make them all staccato, go to the [sta] option in the keyswitch and increase the P. Release up to 95 (R. Release stays the same). Now go to the velocity curve and drag the x-axis to the left by [x] amount and drag the y-axis down to increase its depth; just so it doesn't sound like metal strips rubbing up against each other, lower the filter on the filter option in the [Basic] view.
All articulations can be heard very clearly with the settings posted in No.1, if you want extra clear sounds pile matrices on top of each other. For example, in the viola channel, have two matrices for the viola part with the settings mentioned above. These settings also work extremely well with solo instruments, the cello however may need a lower filter quantity.
